id be interested to see what was said as well...didnt even know this section was on the site anyway ! nunchuka id be very surprised if you said things people would have said before  the best fighters in nature are animals?..there are very few animals that fight for fun,after the initial threat display almost all animals turn and walk away and very few actually have a toe to toe slugfest...a pit bull will fight for fun through years and years of very selective breeding,but this is one of the ONLY animals in nature that will fight not for food not for territory not for a mate but for fun...with this in mind i really dont see how you can compare animal fighting to human and in my opinion all that wing wang flying dragon fanny is to LOOK good,in a straight no rules fight the person would get taken apart,as for a boxer jabbing in a streetfight have you ever had or seen a real fight without rules....90 per cent of fights go to the ground at some stage,a good jab will get you nowhere when you have somebody trying to hyperextend your elbow or knee through 180 degrees,nobody is carrying on any sort of fight with a broken arm or leg which is why in my opinion the most effective discipline of them all is BJJ,but...as has been proved over time,it takes a complete well rounded fighter to come out on top nowadays.where is the thread with this topic being discussed anyone know ? ______________________ im forever blowing bubbles pretty bubbles in the air they fly so high,nearly reach the sky then like my dreams they fade and die | |

Not only this, but they also looked into the weak points of the human body and found hundreds of ways of exploiting these. u may at this point think i am chatting alot of crap.. however I am guessing you havent seen a practitioner of kung fu in action. Some of the moves are deadly, and believe i know as i have learned some already after 4 years. for example striking to the eye, striking to the throat with the aim of breaking the larynx or bursting the jugular vein, striking to the floating rib. again you may this is useless in the street but all i can say is that its not with personal experience |
